Journal Title: Memoirs of the Scientific Sections - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
This paper presents the main contributions of academician Cristofor Simionescu to the Romanian education and research in the field of natural and synthetic polymers. There is much evidence that the school created by professor Simionescu remains a sustainable one, with remarkable contributions to the preparation of specialists for research and education domains. The paper provides evidence that the scientific researches coordinated by professor Simionescu were approached at the same level as the ones developed at world level. Many of them are currently being continued and developed by former coworkers, active both in the country and abroad.
